Summary

Installed MINT 16 XFCE on /data directory of Win8 (D). Result is that Linux starts fine, but Win8 is now damaged but who cares. Next step is to re-format also (C) as Linux data section. No particular issues. Brightness control does not work via Fn keys but can be resolved by two tiny scripts connected to 2 buttons. Most other Fn keys work.
